A Port That Silted Up

Bruges was one of the richest cities in Europe until the Zwin channel silted up in the 15th century, cutting it off from the sea. The trade moved to Antwerp, and the city stayed poor for four centuries — which is precisely why its medieval centre survived intact.

The clock: the Belfry carillon has marked the hours here since the 13th century. Its 47 bells are still played by hand from a keyboard struck with the fists.
